Fur Real?

One of my favourite things to wear during this winter has been my Musquash fur coat, which I got from my Grandmother when she downsized to an apartment. I don't condone real fur being used in fashion nowadays but with vintage fashion I don't have a problem with it. As far as I'm concerned they're beautiful pieces and shouldn't be wasted. I haven't had any paint thrown over me yet so hopefully people have finally realised we can appreciate vintage fur without having to hark on about animal rights all the time. Most of the fur we see in vintage stores is from the 60's, and refusing to wear it isn't going to resurrect the animals any time soon. Controversial? Maybe.

In the outfit posted above I've teamed my fur with my new leather panelled trousers from Urban Outfitters, a scarf which used to be my Mum's and striped beret from Topshop. My shoes are also Topshop and I've pulled UO grey socks over them for a slightly different look. I'd really love to try this with some long leggings over heels but at 5'10 I find it hard to find leggings which extend over my ankles let alone long enough to pull over heels. I'll just have to keep looking!

Purple Reign

I knew I had to have this colour as soon as I saw it. Similar to the colours used by YSL and Louis Vuitton for their SS 11, it's called Cyber by Mac. It's actually my first Mac lipstick I've bought, I never seem to have enough disposable cash to buy good quality makeup but with a colour like this you pretty much need to go for quality, to avoid looking like you're dressing up for halloween. I wasn't disappointed. Lovely bold, strong, statement colour to spruce up an outfit. I think it's lush :)

London Living

My first term at London College of Fashion has been a manic one and a as a result I've guiltily neglected my blog. I've decided as one of my (early) New Year Resolutions to take it up again, along with detoxing, healthy eating and to stop eating my body weight in Mince Pies.
